My Top Five Albums/CDs of All Time:
1. Who's Next by the Who. A 1971
offering by the world's greatest rock and roll band at its height.
2. Joshua Tree by U2. An
offering by the world's greatest rock and roll band of a different era (a trend
developing here?).
3. The Doors by the Doors. An exceptional first album by
one of the great "dinosaur rock" groups.
4. Hergest Ridge by Mike Oldfield (the Tubular Bells new age
artist). Some of the world's best contemplation music.
5. From Down under: The Swing by INXS and Michael Hutchence (was his hanging death a suicide or an accident?)
Other favorites:
1.
Dirty Vegas CDs “Self Titled” and One are catchy electronic pop which

Doug Smith is the West Texas piano prodigy featured on PBS fund raising

5.
Ray Wylie Hubbard is a Texas original.
I really like the CDs Growl and Eternal & Lowdown.
6.
Live at the Big Easy by Alan Haynes. Recorded live in
7. Blues Preacher by James
"Blood" Ulmer. Ulmer is a jazz guitarist (who played with Ornette Coleman) who has put out a unique blues-jazz sound.
8. No Angel and Life for Rent by Dido. Moving
electronic music. Haunting vocals.
9. Spirit of the Century by the Blind Boys of Alabama. From the CDNow web site: In what could be the
"gospel/blues" recording event of the year (2001), the Blind Boys of
Alabama -- together since 1939 -- have put together a fabulous new project,
stunning in scope and exhilarating in execution. . . . The Blind Boys have
created a remarkably contemporary disc pieced together from the most
traditional of genres: spiritual, gospel, and blues. They even turn one of gospel's
most revered songs upside down, singing "Amazing Grace" to the tune
of "House of the Rising Son."
10. Mythos. Superb electronica.
